Dunning-Kruger Effect, or Pakled Nation

By now, I would hope everyone has read this:

Now, I could say all kinds of stuff about this, but probably not much you aren't already thinking. The one thing that I will say is that cthulu actually thinks this is smart, that anyone around the world will be fooled by what's going on. In fact, I have seen pieces of correspondence like this going back years now, and have seen how other countries assume this is our approach to foreign policy. When I first came out of hibernation several months ago, people I knew and respected -- one of them in Asteria -- told me we are either the stupidest country in the world, or we are trying to make as many enemies as possible.
Turns out it was both.
----Content edit----
In a comment below, cthulu claims his cabinet stopped him from doing this. Sure they did. The truth is his cabinet is composed of people who have been doing exactly this for many months now, and in fact, his cabinet would never have allowed him anywhere near the presidency if he held any sentiments other than the ones expressed in this document. As I should have made even clearer, cthulu is no different from bubblar (I've been on discord with bubblar for longer than two minutes three times, and all three times he went on a profanity-laced rant about CODE, Croatia, or both), "krapis," or any of the others. That he thinks he can somehow fool anyone about this is just more Dunning-Kruger at work. They're all equally stupid, equally treacherous, equally vile. And everyone knows it but themselves.

If everyone is the world hates you, it's possible -- just possible -- that the problem is YOU, not them.
Well, not everyone. Our eSerbian overlords love us in our new role: obedient servants!
This is real thing!??
Cant believe it..

Thank you, George. I wasn't sure that everyone had a copy. Good thing my cabinet has talked me out of most of the more outlandish and idiotic proposals. We'll see how well I listen to my overlords.

I'm sure your cabinet was properly horrified by your stupidity and assholishness, which came out of the blue. They couldn't believe you would say such things. They were shocked, shocked!
Yes, now we all have copy, no worries for that 😃

No surprises ... ☣
No, they just farted!
Oh, this is not a troll?
Is legit?
Ok, I laughed a lot while reading.. But now even more 😃
And best of luck to eUSA MoFA.. as it seems Cthuly gave him the hardest part of the job here..
a few months from now, some ppl will say lets gets ally with usa. yea stupidity is infinite
Exact thing that we have been saying for a long time now. This scenario has been in play long before USA left CODE and I am glad American community is being presented evidence. Sooner or later things get out.
bark bark
This guy had the exact same ideas the last time he floated to the top of the pond.
Ma gde si Arrlo, krava te ubola?!
I'm a fan of strategies and long term goals.
eUSA is the only country with full bonus in both food and weapons, looks like the strategy works.
Nobody who knows how we got those bonuses would trumpet it as evidence of competence.
By the way, a month ago you said the US needs to get its act together, that it's been screwed up and a "total jerk" for 10 years. Do you think it got its act together in a month? Is this article evidence of a country that has stopped being a "total jerk?" Because it looks like about as jerk as jerk can be to me.
This doc, if true, show that US clearly has chosen side and in that aspect get its act together. The problem with docs like this, both here and irl is that it is often better to officially declare your alliances rather than claim neutrality while acting different. IRL Sweden for example should of course join NATO and not claim some sort of neutrality while clearly point ut Russia as the agressor, be a member of EU, leading the Nordic Battle Group and repeatedly conduct military training on Swedish ground with US-military and other NATO forces, including buying the Patriot System and place it not near Denmark, not near Norway but on Gotland, facing Russia.
This is BS and you know it's BS. The US has "chosen sides" more times than you or I could possibly count. Nothing in this article shows different than those times; moreover, these people are NOT "the US" but a group of people who, taking out their bots and multis, and allowing for zombie voters, don't even represent 40% of the population. Have you seen the results of the last several elections?
eUS Forum elitists turn everything every-time into shit!
Pig disgusting scheisters!

Impeach that turd
No. Then even a greater idiot named Groot becomes CP.
On the other hand, it would be hilarious.

so code doesnt desrve some sweet revenge?
Whomever leaked that is an ass.
Maybe, but that doesn't change the fact that you're rotten rubbish and clowns.
So the ass is the person who leaked it, not the person who wrote it. As stupid as you ever were, and always will be, "krapis."
Lol'd.
Kiss him, Gnil!!!
Irrelevant.
of course, pakled. of course.

You know what, im not even gonna pretend anymore, I have no idea wtf you're talking about with this 'pakled'.
You kind of remind me of Cenk Uygar, except I dont know if you're greasy. Or fat. But my brain is more than willing to envision that, and its quite hysterical.
Your mouth is big and cavernous. If you were running a hot air balloon business, your overhead would be quite low. How about we just agree not to talk to each other, eh? I really don't have much to say to you, because ya know, you're kinda useless. So um. Yeahhh...
I can see that you're hurting. I'm sorry about that.
Sighs. This is why you fail.
why bother even looking after the first search which was succulent?
This.
late to the party, too busy playing your other accounts?
eUSA MoFA here.
As someone who has to deal with the fallout of this, I just want to make sure everyone understands that this document is not the eUSA policy that we had nor was this adopted for this term.
I have been talking to both Groot and Cthulhu.. prior to the elections about what they wanted to do since I was a potential MoFA in both their cabinets. I have various efriends and contacts in ASTERIA, CODE and in between. I have always been genuine and truthful to everyone and treat everyone with respect regardless on who's side they are on.
Cthulhu.. has always had a crazy agenda during his prior runs, he is very aggressive and wants to do a lot. These discussions, which are private mind you, were a starting point on what he wanted to do. He has not been part of the CP cabinet and needed to be briefed on everything. I wont go into details but there was obviously pushback from various members and Cthulhu.. was open minded, listened and understood why we were not going to adopt these aggressive tactics.
I want to be transparent about this.
Private conversations out of context, or snapshots in time do not tell the story. And this is very much like media in real life in the USA today that people post things for clicks, gossip and rumors and then conspiracy theories, false narratives and smear campaigns get put into place. Id like to avoid that.
Leak was uncool and given a false narrative. Im disappointed that this was posted, specifically by people who have been or aspire to be in the office and don't provide the full context of what happened.
Just my 2 cents.

It's just a coincidence that what's said here matches up exactly with what the US has done for months? That's the gist of what you're saying here? And you expect people to believe that?
Im not going to get into the details of everything listed, but you can already see that he had not consulted anyone prior to putting this doc together.
1. Concessions and Resources is a prime example, we have full bonuses on food and wep. No need to negotiate anything at this time. The only concessions we have made over the past 5 months were with Canada and Pakistan (non CODE countries). And they were made for the benefit of the citizens, 100% bonuses on all industries as well as more money sent to the CBO for programs to benefit our players.
2. There has only been 1 Airstrike in the past 5 months against a CODE nation (Cyprus) and need I remind you they attacked us and there is an article stating their reasons. We have been busy with Resource Wars and helping ASTERIA strategically. As MoFA, I can certainly tell you that I (nor my deputies) have shit on or pissed on any of our relationships, nor have we not treated anyone with anything but respect. I can also tell you that I was against screwing up anyones runs during ReWa and am now trying to mend some relationships that were strained due to the dumb event.
I will go on record stating that I did not like how things went down with the CODE alliance when I returned to the game in March, but thats over and I wasn't here for that demise. We are aligned with ASTERIA and we will continue working with them. That policy is well known.
I expect people to believe the truth, and you can post whatever you want, and you can rail on me too if thats what you want to do. You have the right to also post half truths and create your own narrative. You are not on the side of truth on this topic. People have put a lot of sweat and time into this game to make it fun for everyone, and if this is what you do for fun, Im not going to stop you.
Im providing context to something private that you think proves your point. This is not our policy.
Your reply is largely about what YOU would have done, what YOU (claim to) believe, along with the slick evasion (airstrike) instead of attack -- eliding the attack on Brazil, which is what prompted the attack of Cyprus on us -- as you know full well, and as "krapis" said it was partly designed to do in an article or a shout (don't remember which, although I think I have a screenie of it). There are also bubblar's idiotic rants, both public and private against CODE, which you somehow missed? Ever heard the term "They are what we thought they were"? Doesn't ring a bell?
You are, frankly, coming across just like the rest of them -- a wannabe slickster trying to hide a truth that is pretty much out in the open. As I've been saying for months, there's a reason we're hated around the world, and were hated long before this document, which is -- at best -- just a watered-down version of what has been the US's very real approach to this game for many months, came to light. What YOU claim to have believed, liked, wanted to do, or felt, just doesn't matter. What's been done, has been done, what's been said, has been said, and facts are facts. You think it matters that some of it happened when you were away? Well, you don't think that, it's just a bit if bullshit to shore up your credibility. I suppose, looking on the bright side, it means you haven't gone full pakled, which makes you a distinct minority among your colleagues.
George, you can call me whatever you want. You asked about CODE specific things. Brazil was not CODE, it was ANDES. Plus, we are on good terms now, and in talks about finalizing the occupation and letting them WAM in their US holdings. Thats what the foreign affairs team works on. Having good relationships.
I also stated that I was not happy with how CODE alliance was handled in the end. I was not here and was not part of that team. Do you forget I worked with Croatia PRE CODE to liberate the USA from ASTERIA WIPE in early 2019 as CP? The one that started with Croatia orchestrating it back in April 2018 that crippled us? I was a green MoFA for that. I had to work with everyone.
eUSA has chosen a path, and as MoFA I will do my duty to ensure I work with everyone respectfully and ensure we have good standing with everyone, regardless on what side they are on.
Im done with this topic.
Thank you.
